at R iverside Jr./Sr. High
School in the Computer Lab,
Room 207. In Irrigon, a
workshop will take place on
Wednesday, Dec. 7 in the
computer lab, downstairs in
Room 87.
All workshops will
run from 4:30 to 7 p.m.
Participants will need to
bring their Medicare Card
and a list of their current
prescriptions. Family and
friends are also welcome to
attend.
“ E v ery o n e
is
encouraged to attend these
w o rk sh o p s,”
says
Administrator Victor Vander
Does. “The new Medicare
Prescription Drug coverage
begins January 1, but in
order for the coverage to be
in place, participants must
sign up before that date. This
first sign up period runs
through May 15, 2005. You
can sign up after that date,
but coverage will be more
expensive. The workshops
will be helpful because, by
using each participant's list
of prescriptions, we will be
able to show people their
o p tio n s and give them
printouts to take with them
for use in evaluating the
plans that are accepted by
the pharmacy they would
like to use,” Vander Does
explained.
